A prohibitory injunction, meanwhile, is an injunction of the court that prohibits or prevents a party from doing something specific. For example, this could be to prevent a breach of contract, or to prevent a party from dissipating their assets.
State as briefly as possible the facts showing that each plaintiff is entitled to the injunction or other relief sought. State how each defendant was involved and what each defendant did that caused the plaintiff harm or violated the plaintiff's rights, including the dates and places of that involvement or conduct.
A prohibitory injunction is the most common form of injunction, and directs a party to refrain from acting in a certain manner. Examples of a prohibitory injunction are cease and desist orders such as an order stopping a bulldozer prior to the razing of an historic building.
Injunctive relief, also known as an injunction, is a remedy which restrains a party from doing certain acts or requires a party to act in a certain way. It is generally only available when there is no other remedy at law and irreparable harm will result if the relief is not granted.
Injunctions are also used by a court when monetary restitution isn't sufficient to remedy the harm. For example, in addition to making a financial judgment against a defendant, a court might issue a permanent injunction ordering that the defendant does not participate in a certain activity or business.
Example: Cease and Desist A cease and desist order places an injunction on a company or person prohibiting the activities that are deemed suspect. A cease-and-desist order may take the form of a temporary injunction until a trial can be held to determine the outcome or a permanent injunction after the trial concludes.
A temporary restraining order (TRO) is a common preliminary injunctive relief example. For instance, a court order placing the sale of a company on hold while a breach of fiduciary duty or a shareholder derivative lawsuit is ongoing.
First, an injunction is a court order delivered in a civil trial or suit. This court order stops the defendant from pursuing a certain activity. This can include constructing a new building, pursuing a business venture, or making transactions that are harmful to the plaintiff.
